Might be a hydnophora. ------------- What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing! |

| From the pic it looks like it could be a dubcan too. I've seen them with smaller polyps in clumps like that and also the branching variety with huge polyps, that's what I have. |
